A '50's ranch has to have a pink bathroom, other wise how would you know it's from the '50's? Next thing I'll read is suggestions about painting the knotty pine, which is really western red cedar.

I love my pink bathroom. Wish you had loved yours, too.

All of you that have to shop for food on a daily basis will never survive a zombie apocalypse. I'll bet you don't have guns and ammo either.

My grandparents house was very green - no central air, no furnace and they had a sistern that collected water that was used to water the garden and chickens. And the most green thing was the outhouse. Yep, the little building outside and to the back. A pump in the kitchen brought in water from the well for cooking and bathing. My mother left for college in 1942 where she lived with indoor plumbing for the first time. My grandparents upgraded to indoor plumbing around 1950. By the time the 70's rolled around, they had central heat and air. The shame....

What inspiration! I'm in the midst of returning a 1958 ranch to it's original intention from a Pottery Barn no-no. Just finished stripping yellow paint from western red cedar paneling and removing do it yourself white glaze from pink tile in a bathroom. I'm printing these pics to put in my design folder. Sweet kitty, too.

How groovy is this?! Baby Gage is a lucky little boy.

Thanks sooo much for a southern version!!!

Thank you Sarah and AT. Now y'all AT devotees out there, buy this stuff! And then come to Nashville for a visit; the downtown honkeytonks are open and waiting for you!
